Liferay EE 6 has done away with the old EXT environment in previous versions and has moved to a more extensible plugin approach. While I wholeheartedly endorse that approach, it is fraught with one small problem: redeployments. The situation is this: you initially deploy your EXT plugin but then you make some changes and want to redeploy. Well your previous deployment’s jars are now in the class loader so you can’t just run “ant deploy” again to get your new changes on the server.

The solution: shutdown your server and run this script. This script has been improved upon from this post here to include portlets that you may have modified in your EXT. I’ve also included a version for MAC/Linux users.
